The Summer of ZOLTAN!

    It was the best Summer of my life, it was the worst fall of my life, it was the age of McCutchen, it was the age of the Pedro Bomb, it was the epoch of belief in we can do this, it was the epoch of Zoltan, it was the season of "Finishing", it was the season of collapse, it may become the "spring" of hope, it became the winter of despair and disbelief, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going directly to playoff heaven, but we were all going directly the other way - in short, the season was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for AJ Burnett and Drew Sutton and Starling Marte or for Rod Barajas and Clint Barmes and Jason Grilli, in the superlative degree of comparison only.
